Wilson, N. D. LEEPIKE RIDGE

While I was at ALA, I got to attend a preview showing of Journey to the Center of the Earth. It opens today and I know several people who will be running off to the cinema to see it. It was so good and is getting good reviews. And I just love Brendan Fraser!! It is not the book itself but the book features prominently in it. It is a great sci fic story as well as a great survival story.

Today's podcast is for Leepike Ridge -- a great survival story. This is yet another nominee for New Hampshire Great Stone Face award. I am pretty sure it will be popular with the kids.


Wilson, N. D. LEEPIKE RIDGE

Tom and his mother have always lived near Leepike Ridge. He just never thought he'd end up underneath it. Tom uses a slab of foam to start a ride on a quiet stream. The water turns deadly and Tom is pulled underwater into a cavern underground. There is no light, no food and no way out, and Tom is trapped. How can he survive? How can he get out! (New Hampshire Great Stone Face nominee, 2008-2009)
